June 19 - 20, 2014
Targeting VEGF-mediated Tumor Angiogenesis in Cancer Therapy
Keynote Speaker: Harold F. Dvorak (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center)

This conference will examine issues in anti-angiogenic cancer therapy such as: (i) inherent / acquired resistance, (ii) immunemodulation (iii) enhanced invasiveness, and (iv) lack of validated predictive and prognostic biomarkers. Presentations, including a keynote lecture by Harold F. Dvorak, MD, will explore VEGF-dependent and alternative mechanisms of angiogenesis. Expert "point–counter point" debates will aim to resolve controversies regarding vascular normalization, treatment-induced metastasis, and the validity of hypertension as a physiological biomarker.
